Jonathan Lethem is not only a well-known and award-winning author, but he’s also a Brooklynite, which is apparent by his familiarity with the borough in many of his books, including one of my faves, Motherless Brooklyn.
When he’s not writing, he’s reading some of the best books around (IMHO.) If you like his work, perhaps you should check out some of the same books he loves.
